Floods in Jakarta

This have been the third or forth times that Jakarta is covered in floods. This should have been the warning call for the government to take serious act on this issue. Floods give the people and the country itself quite a disadvantages and disaster. Hundreds houses was damaged, sickness, and thousands can neither go home or come at that time. Looking as it develops, the progress for the flood prevention is still dissapointing and can hardly noticeable. People keeps wondering of what does government actually do to deal with this. Instead of giving people help and food, they should think about how to stop this from happening regularly. There have been quite a few events like this happening from the past years, and that should be enough for the government to take notice of this instead of doing nothing and only inform people what they will do. As we all know that a talk is not the same as an act, where act is always bigger than words. But, today we can only hope that this newest event can one more time be the call they needed to start taking action.
